Entered into rest nt McCook Neb

Mrs Mary Hogan ago 83 yenrs She
leaves nine children to mourn her loss
To pause when such a life as this goes
out to mourn over broken ties and van
ished hopes to lament our loneliness for
Buch a Christian character is necessary
to the best and tenderest feelings of our
nature But it is our duty to take up
the lessons of a finished life for wo die
as well as live for each other
Her life was bright with enthusiasm
for what was noble and beautiful was
pure in thought word and deed She
was generous faithful and just a gentle
kind affectionate wife and a loving
mother
Her maiden name was Mary Brew
She was a native of Ireland Married
Martin Hogan at the age of 22 Ho was
also a native of Ireland
Miss Brew was born August Gth 1813
Eleven children were born to this
union Two have died Five daughters

She has been a resident of McCook
Nebraska for 17 years
Her final sickness began about two
months ago She suffered much with-
out a murmur being happy in the tender
and loving care of a devoted son and
daughter and comforted by a strong
faith in her Heavenly feather bur
rounded as she was by loved ones and
friends and the beautiful sunshine she
passed peacefully to rest the gates were
lifted up and another soul entered into
rest
Wo are glad that she has lived thus Ions
Woep not that sho has Rono to her reward
Nor deem that kindly Nature did wrong
Softly to engage the final cord

Dopes the Well With Oil
The indications point that some one
has it in forF C Scarborough who oc
cupies Mrs Richards Carrolls dwelling
over in AV est McCook There is a bored
well on the property and the well has
several times recently been doped with
oil A male being was seen to leave the
well about midnight not long since but
the one observing cannot positively iden
tify Severe punishment ought to be
meted out to one who would be guilty of
so dastardly a trick
The Contracts Awarded
The contract for building the new
river bridge over the Republican at Red
willow has been granted to H T Ward
Co of Tecumseh Nebraska who also
were awarded the contract to repair the
Judianola bridge The contract price
for the new bridge is 1260 and for re
pairing the Indianola bridge is 600
There were many bids in and quite a
number - of bidders present but the
successful firm was much the lowest
The Fats Were Victorious
The Fats and Leans occupied the
public attention and Athletic Park dia
mond Thursday afternoon the Fats
winning out by a score of 8 to 7 Thor
grimson and Guyer made medicine for
the LeansCone and Huber for the Fats
Tartsch was umpire and Smith scored
The Leans insist that blood is thicker
than water and that they could not
expect to win out with a fat umpire and
scorer

Divide Honors With Minden
McCook went up against Minden twice
last week on the home grounds divid
ing honors with the visitors but many
McCook people and the members of the
local club maintain it ought to have
been two games straight for McCook
considering that a decision of the umpire
in the last half of the ninth inning vir
tually robbed them of the game which
was theirs up to that time
First game was played on Friday af
ternoon It was characterized by unus
ual stick work on both sides and the
scores made were too numerous for a
good game Gaines was hit all over the
field Leach alone making three home
runs It was a regular slugging match

was a closely contested exciting one in

Minden but a decision by Umpire Sad

in giving Gaines a ride when he should
have been out on strikes gave Minden

No Interchange of Passes
If present plans are carried out thero
will bo no interchange of passes among
western roads during 1903 The meet
ing of the pass committee representing
all western lines has been set for early
October and the matter is already re
ceiving considerable discussion Until
last year the pass agreements have been
largely farcical but it is expected this
year that the agreemontwhich was kept
only by trunk lines Inst vear will bo
generally in force J V Mahonov
chairman of tho western trunk line com
mittee has been made chairmnn of the
pass committee in place of Geo W Ris
tine Last year roads in tho various
associations agreed not to interchange
passes and tho agreement fell through
beforo it was put into effect Finally
the central passenger association lines
and the trunk lino entered into tho
agreement which the former wore unable
to keep It was stated that this was
largely due to the fact that the Wabash
extends in eastern as well as western
territory and that it could not havo one
rule over a portion of its linos and
another over other portions What rail
road managers would like to do is to
place transportation on a purely com
mercial basis but this will never bo
done until they obtain the nerve to defy
tho politicians and throueh them ad
verse legislation
